Premise

Daisy Jones & The Six follows "a rock band in the 1970s from their rise in the LA music scene to becoming one of the most famous bands in the world and explores the reason behind their split at the height of their success."[4][5][6][7][8] The Amazon Prime Video series is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's book of the same name, which the author describes was partly inspired by her experience growing up and by watching Fleetwood Mac performances on television.[9]

1"Track 1: Come and Get It"James PonsoldtScott Neustadter & Michael H. WeberMarch 3, 2023 (2023-03-03)
Twenty years after the dissolution of famous rock band Daisy Jones & The Six in 1977, its members agree to participate in a documentary about the band's history. Beginning in 1968, the wealthy yet neglected Daisy Jones spends her teenage years at Sunset Strip music clubs and parties. She eventually begins writing her own songs. Meanwhile, in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, brothers Billy and Graham Dunne form a band called the Dunne Brothers with their friends Eddie Roundtree, Warren Rojas, and Chuck Loving. They find local success, but Chuck eventually leaves for college. Tour manager Rod Reyes advises Billy to move the band to Los Angeles. They do so, along with Billy's girlfriend, Camila Alvarez. Daisy ends a relationship with a screenwriter who intended to make her his muse. She sings her own song at a nightclub and decides to take control of her life.
2"Track 2: I'll Take You There"James PonsoldtJenny KleinMarch 3, 2023 (2023-03-03)
In Los Angeles, the Dunne Brothers rent a house in Laurel Canyon and keyboardist Karen Sirko joins the band. They spend nine months building an audience, but struggle to secure a record deal. The band changes its name to The Six. Daisy moves in with aspiring disco singer Simone Jackson, and takes a job waitressing. While performing at a club, Daisy attracts the attention of music producer Teddy Price, but she refuses his offer to take her on. After a chance meeting, the Six audition for Teddy and he signs them. The Six record their debut album, and shortly before they embark on a tour, Camila tells Billy that she is pregnant; the pair get married that night. While on tour, Billy cheats on Camila with groupies. Although heartbroken, she insists that he be around to support their child. When Camila gives birth, Billy cannot bring himself to see his newborn daughter at the hospital; Teddy takes him to rehab instead. Daisy records her first song and leaves it on Teddy's doorstep as a present.

4"Track 4: I Saw The Light"James PonsoldtStacy TraubMarch 10, 2023 (2023-03-10)
The song that Daisy recorded with The Six becomes a huge hit. The band is invited to perform at a music festival in Hawaii alongside her, much to Billy's chagrin. Despite Billy saying he will introduce Daisy at a certain time to perform their collaboration, she storms the stage early and receives praise from the audience. Simone learns that the record producer who harassed her stole her song and gave it to another singer; Daisy persuades her to move to New York to pursue her music career and be with Bernie. However, Daisy starts to feel lonely, so she breaks into her childhood home and is arrested before Karen bails her out. Talks arise of her officially joining The Six as Billy protests the idea, though he warms up eventually and apologizes to her after Camila invites her to a party at their home. During a blackout, Daisy comforts baby Julia and joins Billy and Karen in a musical number with the guests. Despite expressing reluctance at Daisy's budding closeness with Billy, Camila is ultimately eager to get to know and trust her. Shortly before the power returns, Graham kisses Karen, but she kindly rejects his advances.
